Used my stinger to pull some dents and hammered on edges around the bottom to straighten thing out alittle. I have'nt even got to putting any filler on. Now that you got me thinking about it I'll see how much time I can put into it today.

I'll be waiting for your answer.

I prefer bodywork over bending wrenches. I have more patience with bodywork.

Looks like to deleted to much of the quote, the image is the last one the Left Rear Fender...

With smaller areas I like to wipe the complete area, but with a panel this big It will be spot wiped. Just have to take time blocking so the surrounding areas aren't cut into. The highs will be lightly tapped down. Some of the ones you see are minor and will prime out.

I miss new threads all of the time. Stay tuned, you might be right.
